La dernière fugue Dir: Léa PoolTrailerPhotoSynopsisDirectorCelebrated French-Canadian filmmaker Lea
Pool ponders mortality and the meaning of life
in this powerfully acted drama featuring some of
Quebec’s best talents.
As Christmas approaches, the Lévesque family
has once again gathered for their traditional celebration.
But this time there is a mixture of emotions
running through each person because the
family patriarch (Jacques Godin) is in decline. His
life reduced in every way, the end approaches and
there are unhappy memories of his once violent
and authoritarian past. But his wife, ten children
and many grandchildren try to maintain a semblance
of the Christmas season. The children must
confront their troubled relationship with this once
all-powerful father as they discover the virtues of
forgiveness and compassion.
